be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

The invention proposes the use of a flat member divided on its front side into a plu-V rality of sections, each section ornamented with a different shirt design, and said flat member being arranged for engagingupon a button of a Wearers shirt for rotation for placing any of the sections on view between the opening of the wearers vest or jacket.

An advantage of this arrangement is that by mere rotation of the flat Inember'it appears as though the wearer has a different shirt on.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the object and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure Fig. 1 is a front fragmentary view of a per* son with the device applied. Y

i The reference numerallO indicates generallya person wearing a shirt 10,acollar 11, a neclrtie 12, a vest 13, and a jacket 14. A.' shirt front 15 constructed according to this invention is shown engaged beneath the necktie 12,1andv the vest 13, and partially beneath the collar 11. This shirt front is rotatively mounted as at 16 upon the button :ofthe wearers shirt. *This rotative mounting'lis accomplishedby means of an aperture 17 formed in the shirt front 15. t

The shirt front'liticonsistsV of a circular v flatmember 18 formedon one side into a plurality of-ornamented sections 19, each one of which 'simulates a different shirt. These sec-y tions are each segments of a circle. A

In operation of .the device the'user merely has to turnV the flat member 18 partially around its pivot 16 for vdisposing a new seg-v ment of the at" member visible between the wearers clothes,'as shown in Fig. 1 for sim-v ulating a different shirt.

In the modified form of the'device' as shown in Fig. 4, the iiat member 18 is formed on its outer edge with` concaved Vedge portions 2()l extendingalong'theedges of each of the segments 19. It is point-edvout that these concave edges fit against the wearers neck so as to hold the flat member from accidentally turning. In'this arrangement it is necessary to slightly bend the flat member before it may be turned to anew position. y

In the modified form illustrated in Figs; 5 and 6, the shirt front consists of a rearV backing 21 and a plurality of sections 22 simulating the dierent shirt fronts, seWed upon the front of the backing 21 by stitches 28.

In Fig. 7 the aperture 17 is shown connected with a plurality of slots 24, one slot for each section 19. Positioned on one side of these slots are eye members 25, and on the other sides complementary engageable Qot hook members 26. In operation of this shirt front, the aperture 17 is engagedupon the bottom of a shirt and then it is lowered or raised so that the threads holding the shirt button enter one of the slots 24. One hook member 26 may then be engaged in its eye member Q5 for holding the device in position in its raised or lower condition. Each slot is provided with two pair of fastening meinbers 25, 26, thus permitting various different vertical positions of the device as indicated by the small dot-dash circles 27 which indicate the threads of the shirt button.

In Fig. 8 another modified form has been shown in which the slots 24 connect with auxiliary bayonet slots 28. In this arrange ment the device may assure various vertical positions by reason of the thread holding the shirt button upon which the device is mounted, engaging in any one of the bayonet slots 28.

While I have shown and described the pre- JOSEPH FEIGLESON.

ferred embodiment `of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein vdisclosed and the right is reserved t0 all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as dened in the appended claims. Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new., and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is 1. A 4shirt front, comprising a at member having a central aperture for engagement upon a shirt button for rotative mounting, and ornamented sections .arranged Aon one side thereof for simulating dierent shirt materials, and the edges of the fiat member being formed into concaved portions extend* ing individually across each of the said sections for engaging against .a wearers neck for holding the fiat member against rotation.

2. A shirt front, comprising .a circular flat member having a central ,aperture for engagement upon a shirt button for rotative mounting, ornamented sections arranged on one side thereof for simulating different shirt materials, and'means for adjustably positioning the circular fiat member in various raised or lowered positions relative to the support button.

3. A shirt front, comprising a circular flat member having a central aperture for engagementupon a shirt button for rotative mounting, ornamented sections arranged on one side thereof for simulating different shirt materials, and means for adjustably positioning the circular flat member in various raised or lowered positions relative'to the support button, by reason of slots in the Hat member communicating with the central aperture for engagement by the shirt button in raised or lowered positions of the flat member and an arrangement for holding the flat member` engaged on `the lshirt button at points along the slots.
